Twitter: Zeke on sitting: “You’re gonna have to drag me off the field.”

[SteveTheCowboy]

Can you even comprehend? You might want to read my post again. There’s fans and even some in the media that are claiming Pollard is better than Zeke. That’s not my opinion…dude! There are plenty of players that care what fans and those in the media think. Many in the media played in the NFL.

Well calm down there fellow.

Zeke desire to play isn't a product of a message board, or even fans....you can be sure of that.

It's been ingrained in him, and many athletes, since childhood.

They should drag his *** off then.

It would be faster than him running off.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I've seen Zeke tap out enough to say otherwise.

A couple years ago....the substitution plan was to have Pollard come in when Zeke raised his hand. Some "plan".

Now players do pull themselves on occasion, especially the WR/RB spots, but the rotation seems more schemed, proactive, lately.

But maybe we aren't watching the same games.

@starfan1 You can see it here.

Knee feels good? It don't look good.

Last game was the first time he actually looked like he was hurting. Tape don't lie.....

my bet...torn meniscus.

He can play with it.

Zeke, son if you don't get your arse in gear you getting dragged.

Poor guy didn't realize they just signed his replacement in Ito Smith when he made those comments.
Must feel pretty silly now.

Not effectively he can't. He's been non-existent for most of the year.

They already had Jaquan Hardy on the practice squad.

Meanwhile ...

Isn't that how we get him off the field now?

It's a contusion. A torn meniscus would need to be scoped to repair.

I dont see a ton of hate but as you can imagine he's not exactly a fan favorite. He's got some mainstays that support him regardless (you being 1 ) but Dak probably has a larger fanbase but when it comes to dislike and how vile fans are to a player. i think dak gets it worse than him because not only is he battling being a QB of americas team and being under a microscope but hes also battling fans that miss #9. Ive seen some cruelty over the years towards him.

since aria left i havent seen that type of dislike towards Zeke.Its recognized he isnt what he used to be no running backs are 5 years in that get used like him and not unlike Hambrick people want to see more of pollard especially when he breaks them like he has the last 2 games.

Had one. Made my knee real weak. Once repaired, it was and has never been the same. Never as strong. I was about 40 yrs old.

Zeke has a knee injury that won’t get better any faster even if he stops playing football and will heal at the same rate. Amazing.

 

[CATCH17]

This is what good players should say, it's on the coaches to play the hot hand regardless of contract size.

100%.

I applaud Zeke for being a warrior.

 

[CATCH17]

With some claiming Pollard is better Zeke isn’t about to sit. He’s hearing all the stuff that’s being thrown out there.

He’s heard it since week 2 of the season. It won’t help him or make him run any better.

Pollard is just that guy now and the team is putting Zeke and his contract ahead of the Dallas Cowboys chance at success.

Just out of curiosity.. what is the Cowboys' record since they started giving Zeke fewer carries? Asking for a friend..
